Bulawayo Club

Place was clean… the staff was friendly.. good wifi. In my opinion a very centrally positioned place conviniently located. A retro building but good

Great foyer ,awesome relics and collectibles on the walls and foyer plus very beautiful design all around. restaurant with the open roof and fountain in the centre is stunning. Definitely Goin to be a frequent visitor of this place.

This is one of Bulawayo’s secret jewels. Don’t be put off by all the street vendors and the noise outside because inside you will find an elegant, peaceful and charming time capsule and retreat. My husband and I spent a wonderful four days here, welcomed by Simon and Clive and the team, including the ever helpful Tapewa. Our suite on the top floor was comfortable (especially the bed) and spacious and the food was also excellent. We particularly recommend eating in the beautiful courtyard. We highly recommend you stay here on your next visit to Bulawayo. Thank you to everyone at the Bulawayo Club for a truly memorable stay!

As soon as I found this place on the internet I knew I had to add a night here to our trip! We love characterful places and this did not disappoint! The plumbing is very old, it is not luxurious, but it is eccentric and you can 'feel' the history here (no matter your views on that history - different times!). There are ancient members' books on display in reception and we enjoyed reading about suggestions for occasionally allowing ladies into the club back in the 1920s! Our suite was large and we loved walking around the building - ask for the keys to the billiards room! The bar was like stepping back in time, the staff were extremely friendly and our dinner in the courtyard was a delight. Secure parking, though we did get blocked in by a roofing contractor who took a while to descend to move his car! Unfortunately the credit card machine was playing up at check-out time, but luckily we had enough USD cash! Great location right in the centre of the city, and would also recommend the nearby Railway Museum for anyone with an interest in climbing all over old steam locomotives (no H&S here, lol).

The building is well maintained and we really enjoyed our brief visit. The service was excellent.

I can’t recommend this place enough for anyone wanting to stay in Bulawayo. The service from the staff is second to none, they will go above and beyond for any and all inquiries, whether it was for help with sim cards and any Zimbabwe specific adapters, to arranging trips and taxis to the Matapos or anywhere else. Likewise the food at the restaurant and for breakfast was very good, especially the breakfast. Although the steak may be considered pricey by local standards, paying $17 for a room service steak that was delicious and available late at night was a level of service beyond what i was expecting. The one downside to the whole property were the showers. Not an issue for me as i take baths, but if you take showers the nozzle looked pretty dated and I’m not sure getting the temperature right would be an easy task, albeit I didn’t try, just an observation. Place is gated for those with any security concerns, although the idea is fine, no sense of danger, as a male, can walk the streets at night as a foreigner without any drama. Lastly, id you’re a rugby fan, a trip through the members area on the way to breakfast will become a 15 minute perusal of the history of rugby in Zimbabwe and Matabeleland, incredible memorabilia collection. All in all, for value for money and enjoyment, I don’t think I’ve ever stayed at a better hotel in my life, would undoubtedly stay here again if i ever find myself in Bulawayo.

If you like a bit of yesteryear then this is the perfect hotel for you. The service amazing. Own massive balconies over a busy town. Right in the centre of town Hot water galore and the option eating in-house too.

Food and service was excellent. We recommend oxtail. Brilliant.

The Bulawayo Club is an old gentlemen’s club converted into a hotel. The building is gorgeous and there is a lot of history on display. It is pretty noisy during the day due to its location in the center of downtown but it is very quiet at night. Wonderful staff and spare but nice rooms.
